Zero Energy Solutions and Vortices in Schroedinger Equations

All two-dimensional Schrödinger equations with symmetric potentials \break $(V_a(ρ)=-a^2g_a ρ^{2(a-1)/2} {with} ρ=\sqrt{x^2+y^2} {and} a\not=0)$ is shown to have zero energy states contained in conjugate spaces of Gel'fand triplets. For the zero energy eigenvalue the equations for all $a$ are reduced to the same equation representing two-dimensional free motions in the constant potential $V_a=-g_a$ in terms of the conformal mappings of $ζ_a=z^a$ with $z=x+iy$. Namely, the zero energy eigenstates are described by the plane waves with the fixed wave numbers $k_a=\sqrt{mg_a}/\hbar$ in the mapped spaces. All the zero energy states are infinitely degenerate as same as the case of the parabolic potential barrier (PPB) shown in ref. \cite{sk4}. Following hydrodynamical arguments, we see that such states describe stationary flows round the origin, which are represented by the complex velocity potentials $W=p_a z^a$, ($p_a$ being a complex number) and their linear combinations create almost arbitrary vortex patterns. Examples of the vortex patterns in constant potntials and PPB are presented.

Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics of Scattering

In the quantum mechanics of collision problems we must consider scattering states of the system. For these states, the wave functions do not remain in Hilbert space, but they are expressible in terms of generalized functions of a Gel'fand triplet. Supersymmetric quantum mechanics for dealing with the scattering states is here proposed.

Statistical Mechanics for Unstable States in Gel'fand Triplets and Investigations of Parabolic Potential Barriers

Free energies and other thermodynamical quantities are investigated in canonical and grand canonical ensembles of statistical mechanics involving unstable states which are described by the generalized eigenstates with complex energy eigenvalues in the conjugate space of Gel'fand triplet. The theory is applied to the systems containing parabolic potential barriers (PPB's). The entropy and energy productions from PPB systems are studied. An equilibrium for a chemical process described by reactions $A+CB\rightleftarrows AC+B$ is also discussed.

Entropy Burst from Parabolic Potentials

The change of the energy of ground state is investigated in a thermodynamical process by using the model described by one-dimensional harmonic oscillator + two-dimensional isotropic parabolic potential barrier such as $V(x,y,z)=mω^2 x^2/2 -mγ^2 (y^2+z^2)/2$. In the process where two independent many-particle systems suddenly touch with each other, it is shown that the lowest energy after the interaction can possibly be smaller than that before the interaction and then the entropy burst can occur.

Stationary Flows of the Parabolic Potential Barrier in Two Dimensions

In the two-dimensional isotropic parabolic potential barrier $V(x, y)=V_0 -mγ^2 (x^2+y^2)/2$, though it is a model of an unstable system in quantum mechanics, we can obtain the stationary states corresponding to the real energy eigenvalue $V_0$. Further, they are infinitely degenerate. For the first few eigenstates, we will find the stationary flows round a right angle that are expressed by the complex velocity potentials $W=\pmγz^2/2$.

"Velocities" in Quantum Mechanics

The present paper deals with some kind of quantum ``velocity'' which is introduced by the method of hydrodynamical analogy. It is found that this ``velocity'' is in general irrotational, namely, a vorticity vanishes, and then a velocity potential must exist in quantum mechanics. In some elementary examples of stable systems we will see what the ``velocities'' are. In particular, the two-dimensional flows of these examples can be expressed by complex velocity potentials whose real and imaginary parts are the velocity potentials and stream functions, respectively.

Complex Eigenvalues of the Parabolic Potential Barrier and Gel'fand Triplet

The paper deals with the one-dimensional parabolic potential barrier $V(x)={V_0-mγ^2 x^2/2}$, as a model of an unstable system in quantum mechanics. The time-independent Schrödinger equation for this model is set up as the eigenvalue problem in Gel'fand triplet and its exact solutions are expressed by generalized eigenfunctions belonging to complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0\mp i\Gammav_n}$ whose imaginary parts are quantized as ${\Gammav_n=(n+1/2)\hslashγ}$. Under the assumption that time factors of an unstable system are square integrable, we provide a probabilistic interpretation of them. This assumption leads to the separation of the domain of the time evolution, namely all the time factors belonging to the complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0-i\Gammav_n}$ exist on the future part and all those belonging to the complex energy eigenvalues ${V_0+i\Gammav_n}$ exist on the past part. In this model the physical energy distributions worked out from these time factors are found to be the Breit-Wigner resonance formulas. The half-widths of these physical energy distributions are determined by the imaginary parts of complex energy eigenvalues, and hence they are also quantized.
